Abstract

A synchronization method of multiple threads is executed by a computer. The synchronization method includes determining a type of a synchronization process of a first thread performing the synchronization process for synchronization with a second thread; starting time measurement when the type of the synchronization process of the first thread is a first type; performing the synchronization process of the first thread and a synchronization process of the second thread based on a synchronization process history of the second thread when the measured time exceeds a permitted response period of the first thread; and updating the permitted response period and performing the synchronization processes of the first thread and the second thread based on the synchronization process history of the second thread, when another processing request is received.
